Purpose: This research paper aims to
find out the dimensions of depression in relation to medical and engineering
aspirants.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The
dimensions are recognized with an exploratory factor analysis (EFA).
Subsequently, the validity and reliability of the factors are established by
confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using AMOS.
Findings: Researchers find out two
dimensions of depression – IntrinsicInstability and
ExtrinsicInstability.
Originality/value: This research
introduces a new tool in the context of depression research in relation to
medical and engineering aspirants in India.
Practical implications: We are very
familiar to the suicides by the
unsuccessful medical and engineering aspirants in India and somehow the
depression is one of the influential factorassociated with it. So, it is the
need of the hour to identify the depression level of each aspirant and restore
it before any loss.
